Richard (SD) @ Harvey (NYM)

[EXhoosier10]

Richard ~ 4+ ERA pitcher
Harvey ~ stud prospect, lights out K's, a tad wild. projected to be 3.8 or so with some flashes of brilliance.

Padres were #6 in taking walks last year, middle of the pack K%.

Line opens -139 for the Mets at home. Which side are you on?

[No coincidences]

I love Harvey. He's going to be a stud. I actually anticipate his ERA more in the 3.5 range.

Line seems low though.

Pass. I think SD will get a small psychological boost at home (from moved in fences), but don't want to buy them on the road. Headly will regress...

Whats the K stand for?

Strikeout

Line still sitting at -140. I hate Richard away from Petco, but i'm not sure i can pull the trigger, even with headly out. Ike Davis can't hit lefties for the life of him with a wRC+ of 45 (that's 55% below league average against LHP).... If he's hitting 3/4/5, it's going to be tough for me to pull the trigger, even if the line falls to -130

I can't see the line falling, the more I study, the more I like the Mets. But I am passing. Originally I thought you were leaning Padres as you highlighted Harvey's walk rate and the Padres ability to take pitches, but I think the market is wrong on SD and line is a little low as Coins suggested.

headly is hurt anyway.
